Active clinical trials for "Colitis, Ulcerative"

The efficacy and safety of Cyclosporine A as rescue therapy for acute severe ulcerative colitis in long-term follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between Week 6 vedolizumab therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and Week 30 Faecal calprotectin (FCP).

The IBSEN III study will investigate the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in South Eastern Norway and describe the clinical course of the disease. The investigators will map newly diagnosed and treatment naive IBD patients at various levels (epidemiological, clinical, psychosocial and nutritional as well as immunological, genetic, epigenetic and microbial) as a basis to improve targeted and individualized treatment and care. The investigators will include incident IBD patients at all local- and university hospitals in the South Eastern Health Region in 2016-2018 and follow-up prospectively for five years. The investigators will use standardized and validated registration methods allowing comparability with previous national and international IBD cohorts, link data to national health registries and collect blood, feces and biopsies for bio banking.

A study to investigate the prevalence of pelvic collections in a representative sample of participants with normally functioning ileal pouches. It also aims to establish the feasibility and reporting variables for dynamic MRI enemas in ileal pouches and defaecating enema pouchography.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of high exposure to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) from the use of Asacol with clinical and intermediate markers of male fertility, including semen quality, sperm DNA damage, transcript profiles of sperm mRNA and sncRNAs, and reproductive hormones. Hypothesis 1: High exposure to DBP from the use of Asacol is associated with decreased sperm concentration and motility, and increased sperm DNA damage. Hypothesis 2: High exposure to DBP from the use of Asacol is associated with decreased serum testosterone, altered LH:testosterone ratio, and decreased inhibin-B. Hypothesis 3: High exposure to DBP from the use of Asacol is associated with altered transcript profiles of sperm mRNAs and sncRNAs.

Aim of this study is to determine wether the macromolecular spectral characteristic of ulcerative colitis patients - measured by Physiological Intermolecular Modification Spectroscopy (PIMS) - is a predictive factor for response to Simponi treatment

This investigation will be conducted to obtain the following information regarding the use of Humira 40 mg Syringe 0.8 mL for Subcutaneous Injection in patients with Ulcerative Colitis. Unknown adverse reactions (in particular, clinically significant) Incidence and conditions of occurrence of adverse reactions in clinical practice Factors likely to affect the safety and effectiveness

The purpose of this study is to assess an iPhone application to increase adherence to maintenance medications in subjects with ulcerative colitis.

Ulcerative colitis represents a chronic condition occurring in relapsing and remitting fashion with uncertain outcome and requires lifelong treatment with considerable side effects. Diagnostic methods currently in use, clinical (endoscopy), imaging (CT, MR) or laboratory (C - reactive protein, fecal calprotectin) give an insight into disease activity but are possibly associated with significant discomfort for the patient and / or increased risk of irradiation and potential allergic reactions on contrast agents. For that reason there is a need for a noninvasive, biologically inert method for evaluation of disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Thermography possesses most of these characteristics. The aim of this study is to find potential link between pathological thermographic signs and endoscopic findings, serum C reactive protein (CRP) and calprotectin in the stool of patients with active and extensive ulcerative colitis.
